People who have the TV on while they're doing something else, I reckon. And sometimes they look up from folding laundry to see some familiar yellow shapes, and they know some things are forever.

OK new Simpsons. I guess it's not getting canceled because I think they would have announced that before the season starts to juice ratings for the last year. Mr. Burns uses a Bring Your Kid to Work day as a front to scam Springfield's kids into child labor, which in a roundabout way leads to him learning the workers hate him. He goes undercover in basically a human suit (voiced by the drunk sheriff from Stranger Things). The new Carl isn't quite right but I guess it's better than having one of the ancient cast members verbally die in front of you. There's a montage of Burns making friends with Homer et al. set to "Why Can't We Be Friends" but it sounds like it was sung by the cast. They mention the Lady Gaga episode. Apparently, her making friends with them and never coming back made Marge suspicious of new people. Burns decides he'd rather live as Fred. Fred gets elected union president so he pretends to get everything the union wants. Naturally, when the union gets everything they want, the plant goes to poo poo because you see it's super bad when workers get treated well and also all union demands are extravagant bullshit like chocolate fountains and whatnot. Smithers gets Homer to reveal the ruse. The end. It's bad.

This is extra bad because Last Exit to Springfield has a shot at best episode of all time and I’m sure this takes a giant dump all over that wonderful little piece of satire.

It hasn't been renewed yet, although they have enough holdover episodes that they would still have an abbreviated season 33 if it did get canceled. I did think this might end up being the last season but with animation being the only thing that's fairly covid-proof they'll probably go ahead and renew it.

I'd kinda like to meet Al Jean, I think we'd connect. We're both named Al, so he'd probably give me a job on the simpsons.

Al Jean, there are multiple recorded instances of people going 'lol' and even 'lmao' at some of my posts, and in 2016 someone emptyquoted me (check out the url at the bottom of my resume). I am obviously better qualified than your rotating gaggle of Harvard dipshits, hire me

I remembered it as a background and not a foreground gag, but check this out: From "Dead Putting Society," S02E06. It's a Muhammed Ali gator, but nobody feels the need to have Homer point this out and laugh uproariously. Or not get it, so Lisa explains it to him and he laughs uproariously. Just kinda there for a throwaway second that they don't care if you miss.

The fact that the latest simpsons massively outperformed all the other shows at the same time slot, and even more than doubled all the fox animation that night(admittedly also bad) is staggering. Who are these people tuning in to the Simpsons, but somehow not an itinerant bored tv watcher?

so this was on FXX the other nightquote:The Simpsons go to Diz-Nee-Land (a parody of the theme park Disneyland). After a long journey, they dislike all of the rides they visit, and decide to go to "Rocket to Your Doom", a just-opened queue-less ride which was not on the map. They get in and it immediately transforms into a spaceship. At first, the family is skeptical, but a screen appears with Kang and Kodos on it telling them that they are being taken to their home planet Rigel 7. At the planet, Kang and Kodos show them around in a giant pet cage and the Simpsons are informed they are prisoners. Then they are taken as exhibitions to a zoo. After a while, they are informed they must choose one of them to be dined in a ritual. Everybody votes for Homer (even he changes his vote from Bart to himself after seeing the other votes). Wow, this is terrible, wonder what production was like quote:Just prior to the broadcast of the episode, Al Jean and David Mirkin wrote on Twitter that the episode (which had been produced in 2012 and was originally set to air on May 19, 2013[2]) had been held back Because they were dissatisfied with this clearly stupid idea, right? RIGHT?!? quote:because it was being "seriously considered" for adaptation into a sequel film[4] of The Simpsons Movie, as the episode was "very cinematic;"

It's mostly just people who got up and left the tv on after football log enough for it to count. This happens every year and as soon as there isn't a game the ratings will drop down to the level of the other Fox shows.

I watched the new episode and the biggest laugh I got was hearing Marge's voice for the first time in years. Didn't notice the new Carl most the time because really all the voices have mutated. It was kind of amusing hearing Burns' old man-isms coming out of a young blue collar persona. Drink-Mix Man fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Sep 29, 2020 |

The Itchy and Scratchy Land episode is so perfect. They can't help themselves and make an episode to ruin perfectly good ones. To my girlfriend's annoyance, I'll always say "Remember, we're in the Itchy lot" whenever we get out of the car somewhere.

Oh god I just wanted to know if they were replacing Dr. Hibbert too, read the first news article I could google (answer is yes, doesn't name any particular actor though), and absent mindedly took a glance at the comments, one of which was "the simpsons are yellow, does this mean they'll get chinese actors to replace them??" jesus loving christ

I don't get why they're replacing so many actors yet still keeping Marge's current VA who at this point sounds like nails on a chalkboard that's also made out of nails.

I have a theory they’re actually replacing voices so they don’t have to pay the voice actors as much.

When was the first time they tried replacing most of the cast anyway? Around seasons 9-10? Hence that throwaway "And no one can tell the diddly-ifference!" gag.

They couldn't replace any of the main ones without the other ones walking. The main cast has stuck together very well in the past. They also probably couldn't get top tier talent to replace them. I doubt, like, Maurice LaMarche would be like "Yeah, I'll take Hank Azaria's job, sure!" so it would have to be nobodies.
